are there any guidelines on criminal records when applying for a work visa for entry

Question

After being charged with more serious felony charges I plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief which  basically reads as destruction of property in the NYS penal code. This plea took place in 1999. I hold a bachelor's degree and the idea of teaching overseas, particularly China, appeals to me. Would it be possible  with this blemish on my record?
